I passed a document yesterday that took me a while to finish (half the day, actually). When I submitted it, I felt really satisfied... not that it was the first time... feeling satisfied, that is. When I do submit articles, there's a good sense of accomplishment at the end of the day. But since yesterday's document was more "academic" than what I'm used to, it felt really good to pass it on. Right now, I'm feeling excited about this new thing that I started a few days ago. It pays out in two weeks so I can finally see if I successfully receive my dollars -- that it goes to my peso bank account without a hitch. Obviously, my transcription affiliate has put my name at the end of their part-timers' list since I have not received any work since I came back from my hiatus. I guess it's okay because I do have to catch up with bookkeeping. Unfortunately, I'm still waiting for my friend's other accounting files (they've dropped off some of it) to b

Okay, it rained most of the day yesterday but it's, again, sweltering today. I've been talking a lot about the weather lately, I've noticed. It's because I've nothing else to talk about!!! How sad is that?!? Since this is supposed to be my WAH experience blog, I've got one new thing going on right now. I've still yet to see how this turns out - if and when I get paid - so, I don't want mention its name pa. It's all about writing reviews and so far, so good. I see my account earning dollars but, of course, I've yet to receive a payout -- the most important thing about a work-at-home job. I've got to dab sweat off my forehead now so... later!

It's sweltering for a few days and nights now. Yeah, "nights" that are supposed to be cool so that you can actually work well. Is this a global warming effect -- tropical countries become sweltering countries?!? Anyway, I was up at around 2 in the morning earlier and it was still humid! I just can't believe it and I don't remember the temperature being this high. Usually, it'd rain after this kind of heat but lately, no rain. [sigh]

If your computer's been infected with a virus or other nasty stuff, many people would much rather have their hard drives formatted right away than try to deal with it first. I was one of those people when I thought I could just call someone and they'd hook me up right away. But that's not always the case - I do hate to fester on working with fake alerts, viruses, trojans, etc. for more than a day waiting for the techie genius to come right over. It was a couple of days ago that I, unintentionally, exposed my precious computer when I should've kept from searching for a free game online. Me - the uber-paranoid, I-get-my-money-by-working-at-home-with-this-computer-so-back-off person... yeah. So my antivirus did catch some of it but not all of them. Anyway, working went to chaos with the infamous and fake "your computer is not protected so go to our site, buy our stuff and it'd all go away" crap. It even covered my desktop with this clickable image in red that

I'm a bit heady from the lechon paksiw I had a couple of hours ago - that doesn't sound too good. I feel really full and I don't intend eat any more tonight after that. It's only 7pm and I feel sleepy already... nyee. I'm gradually settling back to work. I've managed to send a few articles and catch up on bookkeeping. I'm still waiting for the accounting documents that'll be coming in - months-worth of documents - hopefully, by next week. From what I can see, I can report back to transcribing next week too. I am excited about that... The weather's terrible... it's so hot and sticky during the day, then it gets cool at night. I don't know, I just think it's worth mentioning. Since we're close to Christmas, I'm pretty sure the weather's going to improve.
